Hello, Bob, Greetings from Sunny Maryland @ 9° F. A couple of nights ago I tried to use my Starfish with a PowerBook G4 that is running OS 10.5.6. Each of the...
David, Starlink does work on a PPC machine under 10.4. That was the last update I had on my development computer. I honestly haven't tried 10.5 on a PPC...
Thanks, Bob, I brought the camera inside today and connected it to the G4/10.5.6 and it worked fine in Nebulosity, PHD, and Starlink. Go figure. The file...
HI all! I just received my new (used) Starfish and I am wondering if anybody is using it with an e-finder? How does it work? I have an EM200 Temma 2 Jr. and...
Emanuele, Look at message #230 in the archives on this list. There is a discussion about using the eFinder with the Starfish that I think will answer your...
I am interested to see examples of planetary imaging using the Starfish. I know there is an example on the home site but I was wanting to see more examples. ...
Unfortunately, I have not seen any software for this yet Max ... From: bradgregley10 To: starfish_camera@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 6:38...
Emanuele, The eFinder is great, but what matters is the ratio of your guider setup's image scale to your camera's image scale, which depends on your scope and...
Thank you very much for the reply and help Bob! I'm imaging with a Pentax 125 SDP which is 125mm in aperture and 800 mm in FL! My imaging camera is a...
... e-finder? ... SBIG e-finder is a 2.5cm aperture scope which was designed for various SBIG guiding chips. SBIG's guiding gadgets have relatively high...
Your 5:1 guiding to imaging ratio should be fine. Hojong Lin raises an interesting point about minimum aperture and signal-to-noise ratio. SBIG originally sold...
Well, not really. I did have a small hand in producing it though. Alan Smallbone's picture today on the APOD site was guided with his Starfish guide camera....
I've recently received my Starfish and have been testing it out (I'm very pleased with it BTW) using a WO 66SD as a guidescope. I have the camera direct...
Doug, I use a mini-Borg 50 guide scope and it works great. I have their helical focuser and have the Starfish eye piece adapter inserted directly into it. I...
Bob, Many thanks - if you do get a chance to check on the parts you used and can let me know, I'd be very pleased to have the info but I think I've got most of...
Any developments on planetary/AVI software for the PC. WSP has great seeing. Going to the Keys next week would like to test the Starfish with good seeing....
Doug, I do use the Borg as my guide scope with the Starfish and it works great. I do not use the nose piece or a focuser. What I did was connect it to some...
Alan, Many Thanks for the great advice on setting up the guidescope - it makes a lot of sense to "lock it down in focus" and keep it that way - and it will no...
AVI software capture for the camera is on my 'to-do' list but not at the top. We've been devoting most of our time, lately, to getting our imaging cameras...
Is anyone using the starfish camera as a guide camera with the QSI 532 pick off prism and off axis guider? I'm trying to use the combo with a Tak FSQ 106 EDX...
Doug, This question might be better asked on the QSI group. Kevin Nelson is very helpful on that group and may be able to assist. We provided a Starfish...
I'm wondering if there is any trick to getting the Starfish to bin 2x with Maxim 5.04. I am unable to figure out how to do it via the guider settings. thanks...
The starfish guide camera does not support binning. It is the nature of the CMOS imager chip used in the camera. That chip supports binning but not in the...
